Verse 1 From the ashes of Troy at the edge of the sea, A hero set sail, chasing home, chasing free. With the wind in his sails and a scar in his hand, Every wave whispered stories he didn’t plan. Pre-Chorus Ten long years of thunder and wine, Gods in the sky drawing crooked lines. Every promise broken, every fate delayed, Still his heart heard Ithaca calling his name. Chorus 🎵 Odysseus — sailing through the night, Lost between the dark and the guiding light. Through siren songs and the cyclops’ rage, He’s fighting the gods, he’s fighting the age. Odysseus — a man and a myth,* Bound by love and cursed by wit. No matter how far the ocean rolls, He’s coming home to his soul. 🎵 Verse 2 Circe’s fire in a golden room, Honeyed lies and a velvet doom. Wine in the cup, danger in the kiss, Every dream a trap, every touch a risk. Pre-Chorus 2 Scylla screams and Charybdis cries, Storms are born in jealous skies. Kings may fall and monsters die, But the hardest war is the one inside. Chorus 🎵 Odysseus — sailing through the night, Lost between the dark and the guiding light. Through siren songs and the cyclops’ rage, He’s fighting the gods, he’s fighting the age. Odysseus — a man and a myth,* Bound by love and cursed by wit. No matter how far the ocean rolls, He’s coming home to his soul. 🎵 Bridge (70s cinematic lift) Ooooooh — hold the line, Tie me to the mast of time. Let me hear the sirens sing, I won’t give up everything. Ooooooh — heart of stone, Every road leads back to home. Final Chorus (bigger, brighter) 🎵 Odysseus — sailing through the night, A lonely star in the gods’ cruel fight. Through fire and foam, through loss and bliss, The longest road is the road he missed. Odysseus — when the journey ends,* A king, a sailor, a lover, a friend. When the dawn breaks over the shore, He’s home at last… forevermore.* 🎵 Outro From the war to the waves, from the dark to the dawn, The legend lives on… Odysseus lives on.
